Many people will wait to hire an attorney because they think they will owe extensive legal fees. While in some cases might be true, however, it is not true for The Brown Firm.

• The Brown Firm operates on a contingency basis; we do not ask for any money up-front. We will fight diligently to win your case. Otherwise, we do not get paid. When you receive a settlement, that's when our attorneys receive their compensation as well.

• Studies show that injured victims whom a personal injury lawyer represents receive an average settlement more than three times higher than those not represented.

• Negotiating a settlement is a complicated process, consider an insurance adjuster's full-time job is dealing with accidents and injury cases. He or she is backed by professional investigators, medical experts, vocational specialists, etc.

The faster you speak with an experienced Personal Injury Attorney, the better chance you will have at receiving the maximum amount of compensation that you are owed for your losses.

The lawyers at our firm will complete a thorough investigation into your accident, and if they need to, they will hire medical experts to review your injuries and medical records. It will be up to your attorney to handle all of the negotiations with the other person's insurance company. If an agreement cannot be met for some reason, your attorney will be prepared to take your case to trial.

If the case does go to trial, it will then be up to a judge or jury to determine the amount of compensation that you should receive for your losses.

Insurance companies will immediately begin calling persons involved in the accident to gather recorded statements. We advise our clients to not give recorded statements to the other insurance companies based on the fact that so many of these organizations will use these comments to directly influence the level of compensation awarded for injuries sustained.

You should not be surprised by the fact that insurance companies typically do whatever they can to avoid paying out the appropriate amount of funds to individuals that are injured and entitled to payment.

Insurers can use all types of tactics to minimize claims they are responsible for. When you attempt to file a claim for the injuries you have sustained, the settlement offer you will probably be given might be low.

Sadly, insurance companies use this tactic because it is a way to influence people and some victims end up taking the offer without ever knowing their full legal rights.

Personal injury attorneys know how the insurance claim process works, they know what evidence to gather, and they know how to calculate and present a claim for damages. Without expert legal counsel on your side, it can be difficult to navigate how to handle insurance companies.

What you receive in your settlement will ultimately be dependent on the circumstances of your accident and the extent of your injuries, property damages, and overall expenses. The amount of compensation awarded to you in a settlement can range from thousands to even millions of dollars.

Your Conley Attorney will most likely include the following types of expenses in your settlement offer:

• Out-of-Pocket Expenses: These expenses include anything that was incurred as a direct result of the accident. For example, in an automobile accident in which your car was totaled, you would need a rental car, taxi service, or to borrow a car. Additional fees include parking fees at hospitals and gasoline for trips to and from doctor visits. This category can include any expenses that you would have never incurred if the accident had not happened.

• Medical Expenses: No matter the severity of your accident or resulting injuries, you are owed compensation claims for your medical treatments and pain and suffering. Your attorney will demand reimbursement for your medical treatments, prescriptions, and other medical bills.

• Lost Income: This may include all wages you lost for having to miss work as a direct result of your accident. This may also include the future if you are unable to return to work due to your accident. Typically a letter from your employer stating your regular pay rate and hours you lost or will lose is required to receive compensation.

• Property Damage: Any property that was damaged due to the accident can be compensated for. This would include the damage to physical property, such as a car or motorcycle.

• Pain and Suffering: After an accident, you can be compensated for the physical and emotional stress that the accident caused.

• Loss of Consortium: If a loved one is injured, it affects more than just them. If you experienced deprivation of the benefits of a family relationship due to the accident, you might be able to claim loss of consortium.

After you are involved in an accident, it's crucial to your health and a potential lawsuit to be seen by a medical professional as soon as possible. Regardless of how you feel immediately after the accident, it's still important to seek medical help.

The doctor will find out if you suffered any injuries, even if you are not in any immediate pain. They will also provide your attorney with the necessary documentation of your injuries to help with the lawsuit.

It's important to keep the following in mind:

• Immediately seek medical attention after an accident.

• Do not miss appointments.

• Always follow the recommendation of the doctor.

Personal Injury Lawsuits can vary greatly when it comes to the length of time it will take to settle. First, it depends on how soon after your accident you speak to an attorney and how long it takes to file your claim. Second, the seriousness of the accident and the extent of the injuries can cause the length of time to vary.

In most cases, insurance companies will want to wait until the victim is completely healed from their injuries and they have all of the medical bills before settling. This is another reason speaking with an attorney is beneficial as they can set up a medical lien so that you do not have to pay your medical bills and then wait for reimbursement.

Finally, it depends on the settlement's size and how backed up the courts are at the time. If you are willing to accept a smaller settlement, then your case can usually be resolved in a few weeks or months. If you are going after a larger settlement, it may take longer.

If your case goes to trial, it can get pushed back even further due to courts usually being backed up with hundreds of cases waiting to be heard.

Usually, you will not need to go to trial during your Personal Injury Lawsuit. Most of the time, a settlement will be reached between your attorney and the at-fault party's insurance company.

However, your Conley Attorney will discuss the best option for you to receive the largest settlement possible, and occasionally that can mean going to trial.
